So, another dish I like to make is vegetarian fajitas! I use the LaTortilla Factory tortillas, if you get the large you can cut them in half for 3 carbs I believe, if you get small they are 4carbs, or the ones I have, the only ones I found at our Kroger were Garlic and herb. Take your choice of low-carb veggies...I use squash, zucchini, and bell pepper...I sautee it in butter in a non-stick pan until it's slightly firm but softening, and then top with cheese and a little low-carb salsa, usually 1Tbsp is more than enough for one fajita...or you can use hot sauce...and it's AWESOME! The carb count of course will depend on what veggies you use, but you don't use much. I usually save the rest of the sliced veggies for a veggie tray as Doug suggested, or for another dish. Usually 2 fajitas are satisfying for me. I slice all the veggies up and with the bell pepper I slice long ways, then chop down the middle to make a smaller more edible strand.

Another idea is to make a small green salad and put in a LaTortilla Factory tortilla for a wrap, you can dress it with your favorite dressing. You can also roll these up and make vegetarian pinwheels for a quickie snack later Again the carbs would depend on the veggie you use, but for the wrap I like baby spinach, olives (black, green, or calamato) one slice of tomato chopped up, some bell pepper and cheese...but you could add cucumber or any low-carb veggie really. I love them.

Awesome Doug!!! Thanks again! Excited about that one

Okay...this is my go-to sweet treat...and the best part? It's VEGETARIAN of course 

1/3 cup of Stonyfield's Organic Plain Yogurt
Splash of pure vanilla extract
Few drops of Ez-Sweetz or better yet FTS Zero sweetener (I use 4 drops)
1 oz. chopped pecans
1 sliced and then chopped strawberry

It comes to 5 net carbs and the yogurt alone has 7.5 grams of protein! If you use the non organic or flavored version of the yogurt your carb count will change...this is strictly for Stonyfield's Organic Plain Yogurt! It doesn't have gelatin like Dannon or some of the others do so it's vegetarian...it only has about 5 ingredients and most of them are live cultures. You can skip the sweetener but it's very bitter without it. If you have extra carbs to spare you can add Rediwhip or another whipped topping but I find that it tastes just fine without it. Enjoy!

Black soy bean chili? That sounds great! I have black soy beans in my cabinet now! Where's the recipe?

Ya'll are SO creative

Yes ma'am. The only thing I mixed it in was the yogurt and I tried it in the coconut "oatmeal" but that was not good...the taste was good but too grainy so I won't make it again. Anything I've put it in was good to eat as far as carbs...so if I stall or gain I think it'll be the sweetener.

I didn't put much, next time I could nix the sweetener and just do the other ingredients. The carbs from that dish fit into today's limits because all I had was two pieces of the paleo bread at 1 carb a piece and a piece of string cheese. So I had a lot left to play with...probably still came out pretty much well under 20.

Wow...thanks...yeah...I was nowhere close then...still have the "sugar eye" I guess. Gosh, I covered my dish in it. Sigh LOL better try next time!
